The Desktop Sharing Kit is a simple way to add Sharing to SoundCloud to your desktop application. It comes as a seperate executable for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS that you can include in your application and invoke it from there to let the user share a sound to SoundCloud.
This README describes the Microsoft Windows version. Head over here to the Mac OS X version.
You can either download the latest build from GitHub or compile it from source yourself. To clone the repository:
$ git clone git://github.com/soundcloud/soundcloud-win-sharing.git
Head over to SoundCloud to register an application. If you plan to use the Windows version the redirect URI has to be set to "http://connect.soundcloud.com/desktop", so best use this one in general.
You'll have to pass the client_id, client_secret and redirect_uri later when invoking the executable.
Once you've added executable to your application you can call it using it's command line interface:
C:\>"Share on SoundCloud.exe" /client_id:YOUR_CLIENT_ID /track[asset_data]:audio.mp3 /track[title]:"Test Sound"
The arguments you can pass into the app are:
client_id: Manually pass in a client ID if you don't want to store it inside the applicationtrack[asset_data]: The path to the soundtrack[title]: The titletrack[license]: The licensetrack[tag_list]: A space seperated list of tagstrack[artwork_data]: The path to an artwork file
There are more options you can pass in using the track[...] arguments. See the complete list in the SoundCloud developer documentation.
